Whirlpool WPW10253483 Genuine OEM Front Load Washer Door Latch Assembly

The Front Load Washer Door Latch Assembly indicates to the washer that the door is closed and that it can begin the operation. It also securely latches and locks the door. If your front-load washer's door doesn't close properly or if the appliance doesn't initiate the wash cycle, the latch assembly could be damaged. Consider replacing the door latch assembly of your appliance when this happens. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, minor disassembly of the washing machine, and some novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
